Did you check voltage and ground for the stop lamps? Did you check voltage at the proper fuse? Use a test light to check for voltage.

Just to add, didn't find info for the 1.6, did find for 2.4L. Hope the brake wiring is the same? Note the fuse in diagram, check fuse circuit for voltage. Notice the wire color to and from brake switch, check for voltage on both wires with brake applied. Go from there.

If the wire colors in the diagram aren't correct, then, I'm not sure how to help? W/o seeing what your looking at, I'm lost?

Do you want interior fuse box label?
